Creep through the jungle, crouch beside leaf cutter ants and hear the screech of spider monkeys. Horse-ride to Mayan ruins, enter excavated tombs and descend into natural caves. When you reach the coast, you could relax on white sands, dive the mysterious Blue Hole or snorkel over miles of teeming reef. Set sail from the shore, windsurf across the water or kayak around Caribbean atolls. Step ashore at Caye Caulker and ride a golf cart to the beach, or swing in a hammock, listen to reggae and feast on fresh lobster. An English speaking country with a Caribbean coast, beautiful Belize has bags of appeal.
